1. I was watching and his widow's eye makeup was so extreme.

Is that some cultural practice I've never seen before? It looked like a mask. What she said was lovely and comforting. I felt bad to even notice but I've never seen anything like it.

2. my experience with kids or g-kids singing at a family event makes me

cringe. Charity Dick's voice was perfect. well trained, in perfect key, "You'll never walk alone"

Extremely touching.


But, how come the SexState stays at home when the president travels on "his most important african visit" in his 7 years?

And why would Dick Cheney not attend? That is usually the role of the VP.

6. I know she used to be at Stanford as some high mucky-muck.

Maybe Stanford is in his district? That's the only reason I can come up with.
